ENVISIONING THE FUTURE<br />

VISION<br />

All individuals are treated with respect and dignity and are<br />

inspired and equipped to reach their full potential. People<br />

have equitable access to a comprehensive and accountable<br />

system of income and in-kind support that provides<br />

an adequate level of financial assistance and promotes<br />

economic and social inclusion, with particular attention to<br />

the needs and experience of Indigenous peoples.<br />

<br />

Social inclusion is based on notions of belonging, acceptance and<br />

recognition and entails the realization of full and equal participation<br />

in economic, social, cultural and political institutions. It is about<br />

recognizing and valuing diversity. It is about engendering feelings<br />

of belonging by increasing social equality and the participation of<br />

diverse and disadvantaged populations 69 .<br />
